Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words, Sol. This was our first house concert, and it's a fantastic way to make music up close and personal with an audience that is there to listen. And I have to say that was one of the best audiences we've ever played for.

Folks, Sol & Fay are wonderful people. They are helping to keep the music alive and doing it with tremendous graciousness and good nature. We were instantly comfortable when we got there. And the reputation they have built for finding good music from the many, many that they listen to every week draws people out to hear total unknowns like us. It was a full house, and I think they all went away smiling. And the host, Steve Shapiro was very generous in providing such a fine, acoustically perfect house for the event.

It was a great night all around and I really appreciate the trust that Sol put in us to bring bluegrass to the Borderline Folk Club for the first time in 10 years. One more wow!
